an adjective. slow – slowly, sudden – suddenly,
careful – carefully, quiet – quietly, etc
• Sometimes, we need to change the spelling.
easy – easily, true – truly, gentle – gently

Listen, read, and check.
A
ghost hunting
So, Nick, why are you so interested in UFOs?
Well, thousands of people see strange objects in the sky all over the
world. Most of these are planets, meteors, or military planes – but what
about the rest? I’m a very curious person, so I want to find an
explanation!
And what exactly does your hobby involve?
Well, I started a UFO club and we mostly investigate sightings. We
interview witnesses and analyse videos and photos. Sometimes we go
out to a UFO ‘hotspot’, too. In fact, we’re going out tonight. We usually go
high up on a rooftop or a hillside. If we see something strange, we record
as much information as we can! We use camcorders, cameras,
telescopes, and other devices. Then we
analyse the information on our
laptops.
Maybe some of our readers are
thinking about taking up UFO hunting
now! What advice do you have for them?
Well, anyone can become a UFO hunter. You
just need to be enthusiastic and patient. You
also need to join a local UFO club. This way, you
find out where the UFO hotspots are, and you
have witnesses if you spot something.
So, what are you waiting for? UFO
hunting is a lot of fun, and you
never know – you might just
turn science fiction into
science fact!
*UFO = unidentified flying object
A strange shape is moving across the sky. Is it a bird?
Is it an aeroplane? Or is it a UFO*? Nick Porter is
fascinated by the possibility of life on other planets, so in
his free time he tries to find out what these objects are. We
asked him some questions about his unusual hobby.

Some verbs do not usually have continuous forms because
they describe a state, thought, or feeling rather than an
action (e.g., see, feel, hear, look, smell, sound, taste, forget,
remember, want, belong, etc). He looks good.
Some verbs can have continuous forms but with a
difference in meaning. I think he’s very clever. (I believe)
I’m thinking of going out. (I’m considering)

Sara Campbell takes a final deep breath and dives into the sea. She goes down
into the blue water and carries on going down … and down. Soon, the people
on the surface can’t see her any more. She doesn’t have an air tank, just a
wetsuit, goggles and a monofin – a large flipper that makes her look like a
modern-day mermaid. Sara is a world champion freediver and uses only one
breath to take her as deep as she can go and back again to the surface!
She holds four world records and a world championship gold medal.
Freediving is one of the world’s most dangerous sports. On the way
down, a freediver’s lungs shrink to the size of a lemon and on the
way back they double in size. But to Sara, all this comes naturally.
After years of practising yoga and meditation, she can hold
her breath for over five minutes and her lungs are 22%
larger than other women her size.
Sara feels completely comfortable underwater. “I just
jump in and feel terrific. There are no distractions.
Dogs aren’t barking, phones aren’t ringing, and
nobody is making noise next door. It’s totally silent.”
Sara has a busy life and loves every minute of it. She’s
presenting a TV show, planning environmental
campaigns, and training to set a new world record!

About 2,500 years ago, the Chinesephilosopher Confucius said “Choose ajob you love and you will never work a day inyour life.” Well, even dream jobs are hard work sometimes, butlife is definitely easier and more enjoyable when you have ajob that you love doing. So, spend some time researchingdifferent careers on the Internet or at a careers centre thatmatch your personality and abilities. There are some greatquizzes and questionnaires to help you with this. Don’t forgetto consider your hobbies and interests, too.
Half of the top employers in the UK are having difficulty fillingtheir job vacancies because young people don’t have basicwork skills. One way to start getting these skills is to get asummer or part-time job while you’re at school or university.You might not like the idea of flipping burgers, deliveringpizzas or folding clothes in a shop, but these things can teachyou the skills employers want such as being on time,communicating with customers, working with others andaccepting orders from a boss.
These days sometimes hundreds of people apply for thesame job, especially graduate jobs. This means it’s becomingmore and more important to write a good CV and letter ofapplication to make sure you get an interview for the job!There are many websites to help you to do this, but generally,
your CV and letter should be simple and easy toread, and present the qualifications, experience,
interests and skills that the employer will be interested in.Remember to include volunteer work, foreign languages andcomputer skills!
The best candidate doesn’t always get the job – sometimesthe best interviewee does. So … prepare well before yourinterview. Read the company’s website to find out as much asyou can about them. Prepare your answers to commonquestions like ‘Tell me about yourself’ and ‘Why do you wantthis job?’, using specific examples to support your answers.During the interview, wear smart clothes and think about yourbody language. Greet the interviewer with a smile and a firmhandshake, sit up straight and lean forward to show interest,maintain eye contact and don’t fidget. Above all, be yourself!
So, you got the job … but you don’t want to get fired in yourfirst few weeks! All employers expect their employees to workhard and to be good at their job. Listen carefully to what youhave to do, ask questions to avoidmaking mistakes, get along withyour co-workers and acceptcriticism. No-one’s perfect, butyou should be enthusiasticand show that you want tolearn.
